The below is the default which is used if this is not configured in either strategy or configuration file.
Since `stoploss_on_exchange` uses limit orders, the exchange needs 2 prices, the stoploss_price and the Limit price.
`stoploss` defines the stop-price - and limit should be slightly below this. This defaults to 0.99 / 1% (configurable via `stoploss_on_exchange_limit_ratio`).
Not all Exchanges support `stoploss_on_exchange`. If an exchange supports both limit and market stoploss orders, then the value of `stoploss` will be used to determine the stoploss type.

`stoploss` defines the stop-price - and limit should be slightly below this.
This defaults to 0.99 / 1% (configurable via `stoploss_on_exchange_limit_ratio`).
Calculation example: we bought the asset at 100$.
Stop-price is 95$, then limit would be `95 * 0.99 = 94.05$` - so the stoploss will happen between 95$ and 94.05$.

!!! Warning "Warning: stoploss_on_exchange failures"
If stoploss on exchange creation fails for some reason, then an "emergency sell" is initiated. By default, this will sell the asset using a market order. The order-type for the emergency-sell can be changed by setting the `emergencysell` value in the `order_types` dictionary - however this is not advised.
